5 Care packages!

Holy Cow Alice… people love me this week. I got 5 care packages in 2 days and one letter. My office is jealous. You’re going to have to stop sending me things… they think their family and friends don’t love them as much as my family and friends obviously love me.

Grams sent a chocolate cake… and a can of frosting too! And some other goodies. Mom made my very favorite kid snack… chex mix… and she remembered I don’t like the pretzels in it too. Cousin Becki sent me more air fresheners that I shared with the officemates who have stinky rooms too… Co-worker Karen sent me giant nuts and Good friends Darren and Gary sent me some healthy-guilt free snacks. Thank you all!

Yesterday’s care package also came with some wipes… which I didn’t have any at work. I’m so glad too because yesterday, the base was sans water… no shower. I bathed in Purell… not the ideal, but it did the job.

A bath-less day, the hardest/busiest day at work yet and a head cold that’s been kicking my ass… yesterday was the worst day ever. Nyquil and a nest of pillows saw me to sleep. Today I’ve been high as a kite all day, which has seen me through the day. Thank god for drugs. I have no idea how these naturalists can live w/o motrin et. al.

Anyway… off to a party.

Cheers
